It was nice to meet Tian and Greg, as well as see everyone else again. And spotted Marc and the DHBC bunch on the Cooks River path early on too!

Ride back from SOP was fairly uneventful, although Austyn did have a very close call with the side of a passageway, almost bringing up the total number of stacks to 2.

Hopefully the Bundy bike will be ready to roll by the next ride!
Head wind party on the way back to Cooks for Tian and myself, coasting down a hill never felt so slow!find_bruce wrote:The wind really blew me home - easily rolling along at 40 km/h around Canada Bay.

Thanks to Rheciel for organizing the route. The markets at Milsons Point were a great idea.
Good luck for your HSC exams in a couple of weeks Quang. Minh, it was great to see you bravely back on the bike and recovering well from your accident.
And thanks Mark, for the ride to Olympic Park and for giving us all fantastic entertainment watching the faces of all who glimpse your green rocket
And to everyone else, see you next time!
Claire

No worries. I am glad that many of us liked the route. I am overseas at the moment and hopefully, it's Retro Ride again when I come back.isabella24 wrote:Thanks to Rheicel for organizing the route. The markets at Milsons Point were a great idea.

Rheicel was on the attack, prompting Tian and Austyn to step up their pace. I powered by Austyn who passes Tian, and led the breakaway group as we catch Rheicel who transformed into a paparazzo.find_bruce wrote:Thanks for a great ride today folks - highlights would be Greg's paino, watching people stop & stare at Mark & trying to chase down the breakaway of Reicel, Tian, Quang and Austyn around the airport. The wind really blew me home - easily rolling along at 40 km/h around Canada Bay.
It was all headwind for Claire, Mark, and myself heading towards Parramatta, and then down the rail trail. I do wonder how much Green Rocketman was affected by wind though, whilst Claire's and my carbon bikes were blown around.

A great ride, Thanks Rheicel for organising it. Very diverse terrain and conditions from the bridge to the Highway and along many differing cycle paths. Markets with coffe and food aroumas, Vehicle pollution and flowers full of spring time pollen.

I have had the fortune to win two tickets valued at $75 each to Spring Cycle today in a Chain Reaction competition. I will obviously use one ticket myself, but this means I have a ticket spare for a retro rider that wants to join myself, Quang, Minh and Rheicel who are all doing the 50km classic ride.
The ride goes from North Sydney at 7-7:30am to Olympic Park and tickets include a jersey, goody bag and entry to the bike and lifestyle festival at Olympic Park. The ride is on the 20th of October. More info can be found at http://www.springcycle.com.au" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
Please PM me no later than today, 03/10/13 if you want me to put your name down for this ticket, as I have to let Chain Reaction know who is coming by tomorrow.
Cheers, Claire

Quick is right! I saw that post about 2hrs too late.isabella24 wrote:Geez that was quick!! Green rocket man has the ticket
I was considering buying an entry for the Spring Cycle, however, it looks as though i'll be interstate on that date now anyway.
I have got my Gong Ride starter in the mail, the other day. Anyone else here, riding this??

Sorry for not sending in a thank-you for the great ride, comradery, and opportunity to check out some cool bikes. I left town almost immediately after the ride and just got back yesterday evening. Thanks for, yet again, a fantastic couple of hours of exercise with great folks.
I had hoped to ride in the Spring Cycle ride but another work trip out of the area is shaping up so I'll miss this one. Have a great time!
Joe
